Did you know that regular cotton, which represents 3% of the world's agriculture, uses 25% of its insecticides and 11% of its pesticides? That is 495 million pounds of toxic chemicals that have been banned for use on food crops but are still allowed on cotton crops. Unfortunately, cotton by-products, such as the seed and husks, are consumed in large quantities by domestic dairy cattle so these same toxic chemicals enter the food chain.
Organic cotton is grown with no pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers of any kind. We consciously choose premium organic cotton french terry with a touch of spandex that will not only look and feel great but will contribute to a healthier earth!
Care of our organic cotton french terry is very easy. Wash your garment in cold water on a regular cycle. Turning inside out helps to retain the colour over time.
Please hang to dry. The dryer is not recommended as it will deteriorate the spandex and wear out your garment in general. (That pile of lint that you clean out of the dryer is the evidence!) Iron on a cotton temperature, with steam as required.
